Praying With Fire

Description:

Ignite the Power of Your Tefillah — In Just 5 Minutes A Day!

Tefillah (prayer) is a miraculous power each of us has, yet most of us use only a fraction of its potential. Through the gift of tefillah , Hashem places in our hands the key to the Heavenly storehouse of blessing, and gives us the precise words that can release these treasures into our lives. And what treasures they are… . our health, our ability to find a spouse and build a Jewish home, our success in raising our children, our safety, security, livelihood. Everything.

Praying With Fire is a 5- minute- a day program developed by Rabbi Heshy Kleinman, who has researched, taught and spoken on the topic of tefillah for many years. Now he brings his passion and knowledge to the printed page.

This work is a brilliant combination of in- depth scholarship and pure inspiration, all in an easy- to- use daily learning format. Day by day, step by step, you will find your tefillah becoming stronger, more meaningful and more effective. With soul- stirring introductions by HaRav Mattisyahu Salomon and Rabbi Yisroel Reisman, Praying With Fire is the ultimate guidebook to fine tune attitudes and approaches to daily communicating with Hashem. The book examines several key components of meaningful tefillah, such as:

* Igniting the Power of Prayer
* Achieving Personal Growth through Tefillah
* Gaining a Proper Under standing of Kavanah (focused intention)
* Tapping the Shechinah's Presence
* Thirteen Practical Strategies to Achieve True Kavanah
* Why No Prayer Goes Unanswered
* The Spoken Word: Our Downfall, Our Salvation

Give your prayer experience a vital boost this year with Praying With Fire — in just five minutes a day!

Praying with Fire - Vol II
http://www.artscroll.com/Books/pwf2p.html

Description:

The first volume of Praying with Fire was that rare book that captured people's hearts and minds, that ignited their imaginations and inspired their souls. With its breathtaking combination of spirituality and scholarship, and its practical five-minutes-a-day approach to understanding and improving our prayers, it created a quiet revolution in the prayers of the tens of thousands of readers who made it a not-to-be-missed part of their daily routine. Praying with Fire 2 takes that revolution to an even higher level.

In Praying with Fire 2 we continue our daily five-minute investment , as we learn how to deepen our connection to Hashem, how to use our prayers to strengthen our faith and use our faith to strengthen our prayers. Tefillah becomes a vehicle that helps us understand ourselves and the times we live in, as we come to understand how prayer fits into our own lives as well as Hashem's eternal plan. And of course, with its emphasis on the practical elements of praying with kavannah, with focus, fervor and intent, we are given the strategies we need to pray better - and to have our prayers accepted in heaven.

Praying with Fire 2 broadens the important lessons that began with the bestselling Praying with Fire. These are lessons that will show us how to take the words of prayer that we said by rote and ignite them, lessons that show us how to change the mumbled words of habitual tefillos and turn them into a true conversation with the Divine. And all in five minutes a day.
